Bottom of this page... Are you really about to spend a grand on a wing?

I was just pointing out how overpriced R.E stuff is. I'm sure someone will chime in with a less expensive option.

Just to make it clear, I'm looking for a wing that preform and give me a little downforce and that I can take it off when I don't need it. (I really don't like how it looks on the FC) I'm setting up my FC for circuit. I'm just doing the HPDE/open track.

It's not gonna give much help at any speed less than 80 mph, I don't think. Why do you need it? Is the back end coming out in the turns or getting loose over hills? What is HPDE?

APR makes similar wings but you're on your own for the mounting hardware. They also have CFD analysis of all of them, and charts showing downforce and drag at various speeds and angles of attack. All the charts start at 80mph, but I'm sure some force is available at even half that. The numbers on the charts are in newtons, so make sure to do the math to get pounds to get an idea you can easily wrap your head around.

Remember that adding lots of DF on the rear without adding on the front can have unpleasant consequences for your handling. How long have you been doing DE and how many events do you have under your belt? Aero is a pretty drastic preparation step and probably one of the last things you should do as your car evolves.
